Hi thanks very much for your warm comments and also for visiting my channel & watching this video. It pleases me to receive such great feedback from something I created :) So thank you, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Wow. Your beginner videos are a breath of fresh air. I have been told by my doctors to get out and exercise. So, I bought a metal detector. I've been out six times in two weeks. I've found something nice every time. But Lord, are my legs sore! It's working!
Thank you for your very kind words, I really appreciate that. Metal detecting is a great way to unwind after a stressful week at work. I love the great outdoors and I love getting away from people haha so it suits me down to a tee !! Thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope you learned something useful. This is my most watched video in my gallery and it makes me very proud and happy to see how many views it has received. Thanks again, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. For further guidance, I also created a video on how to get metal detecting permissions. You can find that here: th-cam.com/video/YTfsPacLnmE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RBU--0cJ6MtXRR_k I also created this video which shows you what kit you need to enjoy the hobby of metal detecting. You can find that here: th-cam.com/video/kulowXb059A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Zt_Q6JohzSIPGZXs Finally, I would like to share with you one of my favourite videos, which shows 2 of my best ever gold finds, found on the same field, just 7 days apart. You can find that here: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FTveXlY56XvWztqw Thanks again, and have a great day. Gareth
I'm thinkin' about getting into detecting and saw your video was for beginners. I thank you so much for your instructions. I've learned enough to tell me that I can do this, I'm disabled, and it won't bother me physically. Thanks again "Duke." You've set me on a good path to follow.
Hi there Jim, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and for watching this video. I am really pleased that you have learned something from this video. I have full faith you can do this too, disability or no disability. If you have any questions at all, please let me know. In the meantime, have a look at this video if you like, it shows 2 of my best ever GOLD finds, found on the same field, just 7 days apart. One of my absolute favourite videos: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you on my channel again. Gareth
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and for watching this video & offering your kind words. It really pleases me to know that this video has helped so many people, 115,000 views is crazy for a small time metal detecting channel like mine. If you ever have any questions, please let me know. In the meantime, I uploaded this video recently showing 2 of my best GOLD finds found on the same field 7 days apart: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html Thanks again and I hope to see you on my channel again in the very near future. Gareth
Hi Jeff, thanks so much for visiting my channel and watching this video. I very much appreciate your kind words too. I hope you took something useful from this video and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Hello, thank you very much for visiting my channel, watching this video and leaving your kind words. I am pleased it helped you out in one way or other. I am very happy to see this video reach 132,000 views, my most watched video ever!! Thanks again and I very much hope to see you on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Good to see you trying to help the newcomers with some sound advice.I had to learn from scratch but having detected over 25 years I think I am well versed in technique.Having said that I have just pulled up my first Gold Stater,what a thrill.
Hi Dave, congratulations on finding a Celtic stater, that's fantastic, dream find right there! As for this video, I thought I would try my hand at a guide for beginners as I see it as an opportunity to generate views long term. I did my research, watched other channels guides and wrote a script with topics to cover. I think it worked out really well. Thanks for tuning in, congratulations again on your gold stater and see you on the next
Hi Andrew, thanks so much for coming along to my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I really hope you took something useful from it, seems to be one of my most popular videos. Good luck on your future hunts, metal detecting can be frustrating in the early months, but stick at it and you will thrive. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Hope not! Haven't finished the video yet but I appreciate the info. Might get one for my birthday and try to find some jewelry to break even at least, haha.
Hello & Greetings to you Ken, where about's in the USA are you from? Thanks so much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I cannot believe this video has received over 125,000 views, this makes me very proud. I do find a lot of coins and artefacts at good depths on some of my English pasture fields, but in truth most of the things we find here are usually 4-6 inches in depth. I recently uploaded this video which shows 2 epic GOLD finds I made a few years ago, both found on the same field, just 7 days apart. I would appreciate your comments: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for coming along, hope you are subscribed and hope to meet you again in the comments section of some of my other 300 metal detecting videos. Have a great day. Gareth
I used to be a member of a local archeology group that did metal detector taster sessions. The main difficulty I found beginners had was keeping metal objects well away from the coil when searching and recovering finds, leading to false signals and confusion. You didn't really cover the technique for pinpointing with the detector to determine the exact location of a signal, so as to avoid damaging finds when digging. I have noticed that a lot of experienced detectorists on youtube (including you) allow the spade to point inwards at an angle when removing the plug, which can lead to hitting the find especially when its deep. I hope I haven't been too negative here, the video was a good starting point for new entrants to our great hobby.
Hey John how are you doing? Thanks for getting in touch with your feedback, it is very much appreciated as I try to use viewer feedback to improve what I do. Yes pinpointing with the coil is something I should probably have mentioned and done a little lesson with using a target and the paper. My bad on that one. Its a lot harder than it looks to create a video like this, I actually did my research, watched other channels guides and wrote a script including topics to cover. I missed a couple of things, but I hope that newcomers to the hobby can take something useful from this video :) Thanks so much for watching and offering your thoughts. I hope to see you on a future episode
Hey duke great vid very helpful for me thanks …..I did my first detecting the other week and found some really old rusty ornate iron pieces …..I have no idea how to clean and look up about these but wondered if you had any advice. ? I wish I could send you a pic as you would probably know better than me lol …..I’m sure one piece is a very old door knocker but it’s so thick with rust and where I found it doesn’t make any sense …..I look forward to any advice Jason 😊👍
@@jasonhumphries1271 hi Jason, thanks for getting in touch, generally in the UK we ignore iron as 99% of the time iron is just rusty farm junk. I did once find a huge rusty iron lump hammer that I expect would clean up great. I've no idea how to clean rust, Google might know more. Those early months of the hobby can be frustrating, stick at it. What machine do you use?
Thank you for the lessons. I received a metal detector as a gift. I bought a pointer to go along with it. I contacted a friend that has a large parcel of land that is fill dirt brought in from elsewhere. He told me to come explore and retrieve.

Hi Mick, thats good to know, it pleases me to know that some of the stuff I upload helps others out and makes a difference to their metal detecting journeys. Enjoying a week off here in Tenerife with the family, packed the Deus2 and Nokta PulseDive, hoping to film a beach video. Thanks again mate
Brilliant video, I'm a novice and your tips have helped me a lot. I use the Garret Ace 300, my first, so I will probably upgrade to a little more expensive detector as soon as I find enough gold relics to buy it!

Hi there, wow a 1780 farmhouse sounds awesome, I hope it comes with some field / land. If you need any further assistance with the hobby, I created this video which talks about the kit you need for metal detecting. That video can be found here: th-cam.com/video/kulowXb059A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y3TePbbMpIdVYosV Also, I created this video to offer support in acquiring metal detecting permissions.

Gareth
Really enjoyed this video. It was as exciting as the real thing but easier because I didn’t have to dig! lol. I’ve been detecting about 10 years but have been reenergized recently. I’m upgrading my machine soon, shopping now. Love the beautiful old stone walls behind you. You’re going to find a great treasure. Cheers from northern California.
Hi, thanks for your awesome comments and feedbacks. Them old stone walls are definitely a key feature here in Derbyshire, England. I wish you luck on your re-energised fondness for the hobby again.

I am just about to buy my first detectable and have been researching the hobby. This is the first video I have looked at and found it really useful. Thanks for putting something like this up for detector virgins like me. I will be looking out for your other videos. John
Hi John, thank you so much for coming along to my channel and leaving me your great feedback, its really appreciated. It really pleases me to receive comments like this. I put a lot of thought and effort into this video in the hope it would help people new to the hobby just like you. I have over 200 other metal detecting videos, I would love it if you subscribed and had a look at some of my other videos. If you ever have any questions, ask away, I am happy to help. Have a great weekend. Gareth
That was a very thorough introduction to metal detecting. I will be taking away: diging three quarters round the hole to use the grass roots as a hinge to put it back and the deeper the find, the older the find. I'm glad you put in "You will need patience, just keeep going and don't give up" I know from experience people watch a twenty minute video and don't realise that it was six hours of metal detecting ? Cheers mate you've given me a lot to think about, as I start metal detecting and probably saved me a lot of trial and error making stuid desisions 👍 I look forward to watching more videos and seeinng how YOU do things.
Hi Gerard, good to hear from you and I am pleased you have took some useful pointers from this video. Yes metal detecting requires lots of hard work, time and patience. And correct, these videos are a culmination of around 5 hours in a field, then another 5 hours on my laptop editing and putting it all together. Thank you so much for you appreciation and kind words. There are a lot of guys who follow my channel who now use XP metal detectors and are learning from me and my channel, I am always available day or night to help people where and when I can. Hope you have a good day and hope to speak to you again soon. Gareth
Lost my wedding ring while skinning a deer in the forest. I suppose i am now involved in a new interesting hobby. Will update when i receive it! Good video. Thank you.
Hi there, wow that's one way to lose a ring. I hope that you remember the location, you should be able to find that pretty easily. It should remain on the surface for a few weeks before the earth begins to swallow it up. Good luck, please let me know if you manage to find it. Thanks so much for watching this video, I really appreciate it. Gareth
I regret to inform that the ring is still in the forest. It could only have been on a small patch as I removed it to keep it clean. My assumption, due to days of searching the same 100m strip, is that a crow is very pleased with his new addition to his collection. There were dozens watching me waiting to help clean the area after the deer was harvested. That's life. I have, however, found about everything in that area from aluminum cans to brass ammunition casings. Been enjoying your channel. I wish I could come to older places and search for old coins. If I find things as old as some of the stuff you find in my area, it is almost exclusively always stone. I have found a handful on arrowheads and countless shards of worked flint. This metal detection hobby is a whole new angle on stuff I already do.
@@woodymcwooderson7579 ah sorry to hear that you did not locate the ring. Perhaps it could have ended up in the deer carcass or maybe the back of your car/truck. Sometimes we think we lose something somewhere, then it turns up a few months later somewhere else. Pleased that you are enjoying the hobby though

fast forward 2 years.. i bought a metal detector and a pinpointer a little over a year ago. it's not been out of the box. my son sent me this upload last night, after telling him I've felt a bit intimidated. Your explanation has given me incentive and confidence to take it out of the box.😃 I'm in Montana so I expect to find lots of pull tabs. the exercise and surprise will be invigorating. thanks for the simple and concise tips!

My daughter (11) has also wanted one aspeshly since easter holidays because her friend has a metal detecter they found a old plate or bowl not sure, a axe head not sure but shaped like one and a bit of potary and also a garden nome in a different place in my daughters friend garden in by a hedge
@@Sarah-i4t2h sounds like your daughters friend has some interesting finds there. It is a great hobby, but requires time and patience. I wish you luck and happy to help any way I can
Great video!! Im gonna start this spring I got 2 detectors a pin pointer all the small thing for digging. I also picked up a drone and am looking for old maps of the locations I plan on visiting. Knowing the history of the land and getting a bird’s eye view should help big time. I keep reading online to look for old places of worship and just enjoy the time your having and you won’t be disappointed. Positive vibes is key. Cheers 🍻 from Newfoundland and Labrador

Great video, really good tips for anyone getting into the hobby. Very glad you mentioned multiple times about taking your trash away.. its a must. You've got a great way of explaining things in a simple and calm manner... Nice bit of different content too, nice to see how you are trying new things with your channel. I'm sure you will help a lot of people with this 👍
Cheers mate and thanks for your constant support. You don't know how much I appreciate hearing and reading positive feedback. As you know its become a big commitment trying to upload every week. Day 1 of holiday here, unfortunately there will not be an episode next week. This weeks video is performing great though

With the understanding that this is a detector for those on a budget th-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH and that it obviously can't compare with higher end models costing hundreds of dollars, having said that I can say I am very pleased with what I got for the low cost. There are cheap detectors out there likely not worth getting, but this model is an exception to that. I have read very good comment of the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV on a metal detecting forum. If you are on a budget or simply don't want to spend a lot to give this hobby a try to see if you want to keep at it, then I recommend this model as likely being one of the best you can get for one being in the low price range. The 5 star rating is to reflect 5 stars for one in this price range. This comment is from my friend as it was the gift he wanted to buy for himself with some of the money he got for Christmas.

Cracking video Gareth 👍🏻🙌🏻 very informative and great advice for people that are wanting to start in the hobby. I've had my younger brother mither me the last week about taking him and showing him what to do, I've just shared this video with him and he can't wait to get started! Keep up the great work pal 👍🏻👊🏻
Hey mate, thank you very much. Spent quite a bit of time planning and executing this one. Its by no means perfect but I think its good enough to get people started. Thanks for sharing with ya brother, I hope he is enjoying the hobby as much as we do. Off to Tenerife day after tomorrow, still not completed the next episode yet!!
Thank you I just been giving Garrett 300i and a c scope 1220 never done metal detecting before watch a lot of it on you tube since covid now I got machines ain’t got a clue but watching you vid I’ve picked up a little knowledge about detecting a big thank and when I go I will let you no our finds 👍
Hello, thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. That is awesome you were given 2 metal detectors.

Hi mate exceptionally well produced tutorial and just wish I'd had the advantage of seeing this when I first started in 2020. Just a couple of things struck me though , and a couple of guys have already pointed out in the comments but worth repeating ..... Your own experience as a seasoned detectorist enables you to pinpoint your target without using the machine's facility , but to a beginner , that facility is so useful and should have been covered I feel . Also , a little more time spent on how to go about gaining permissions would have been really helpful I feel . Especially having witnessed your own technique myself ( talking to your mate's mam voice etc 😂 ) . And lastly , altho you don't use one yourself , a digger/trowel / tool for target extraction once pinpointed is very useful . Having said all that , you can't think of everything mate and it was the best tutorial I've seen . 👍🍻
Hi mate, yeah I did not mention the machines pinpoint feature, but then I did not mention most of the other features of it. I thought I did an ok job of showing how to pinpoint without that feature. Gaining permissions is something I plan on doing a dedicated video on in the future, so that's the reason I did not talk about that. In my opinion and experience, digging tools are not a key part of kit required for a detectorist. There are tonnes of other things I could of mentioned, but this was about the basics of getting started for a beginner. I did my research and watched 4 or 5 other channels version of their guides. I also did some planning and made an almost script and topics to cover. It was actually quite difficult to execute this video, a lot harder than I thought it would be. Someone else mentioned about using gloves. As always I appreciate folks feedback. I saw this as a great oppurtunity to create a video that will carry on generating views over time when newcomers to the hobby come along and search 'How to metal detect'. Will be very interested to see how it performs (currently very bad haha).
Thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope you learned something useful.

Hi there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope you learned something useful. Haha I don't think I'd make a very good teacher.

Thank you for making this video, I have been detecting since March and now its July so 4 months. I knew everything on the video but it was a good review and verified I have been doing it right. Wish I would have had this from the beginning it would have saved me time! Thanks again, I will look for more of your video's.

Hey Dave, I could of talked about gloves yes, I could of talked about footwear, detecting etiquette, closing gates, etc etc, so many things I could have talked about. I simply wanted to cover the basics to get someone started in the hobby. Maybe if I'd filmed this on a cold winters day I'd of got gloves in there. But it was 20+ degrees when i filmed this. Re-scanning the plug is another good tip too
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I always wear gloves, no idea what is in the hole screw top bottle cap with broken glass neck, rusty nail, sharp edge metal, also animal urine, chemicals etc. Always have rescanned hole before refilling, thankful for the times it was worth it.

Saw a random clip on insta of a guy finding stuff metal detecting and it really peaked my interest. Which brought me here wondering about the basics of such a hobby. Glad you were the video I decided on. Love you attitude and positivity!
Hi there, I really love this comment and love how you came over to TH-cam and it was my channel you stumbled across. Did you search "How to metal detect?"

If you have plenty of free time on your hands, know lots of farmers/landowners and get a buzz of old coins, then this is the hobby for you!! Any questions, let me know. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I searched "Metal detecting for beginners" and your video was like the 3rd option. I don't know a lot of land owners/ farmers but i do get a kick out of "You never know what you're going to find".

Thanks for the video. Going out today for the first time just to mess about and familiarize myself with my new detector (MineLab Vanquish 540). My pinpointer was delayed, and isn't coming until tomorrow. Hopefully that's not too much of a handicap. I've never metal detected, but my uncle has been obsessed with relic hunting for as long as I can remember.
Hello, thanks so much for choosing to watch my Beginners Guide To Metal Detecting, I really appreciate you coming along. Hope you took something useful from this video and I wish you good fortunes in 2024.

Great intro to the amazing hobby of metal detecting! I just bought my first detector, just got it yesterday, Its not a high end brand, It is called the Hazlewolke 1030, picked it up New for $120 cdn, heading out this afternoon for my very first adventure. Like you said, " a metal detector is a metal detector, I will for sure use some of your tips and tricks! Cheers mate.

Last summer i picked up a Fisher in a mid price range, and began practicing with it in my own yard an a neighbor's yard. Even though i have some experience using it, i found your video very helpful. My best find so far was a vintage sterling silver heart shaped pendant that is still in great condition. I also found an old piece of lead shaped like a padlock, but it is not a padlock. Perhaps it is some type of weight. I have found a few modern US coins, but nothing very wonderful yet. Anyway, i am retired and have plenty of time for the hobby. The weather is getting better now here in New England. It will be time to get back out there. I still have a lot of space in my own yard to search before venturing elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your experience and providing such great video content! I can't wait to get back out there.
Hello Tony, thank you for such a wonderful and insightful comment, and also for taking the time to watch this video. It really does please me and make me feel proud to know that there are people all over the world watching this video and finding it useful. You found your first piece of silver, congratulations, this is usually when you become hooked!! I wish you luck on your future hunts, I am always available if you have any questions. Also, I very much hope to see you again in the comments on some of my many other metal detecting videos. I have almost 250 videos now :) Thanks again. Gareth

Great video Gareth, my metal detector arived today and I am keen to get started. Can you recommend any good clubs to join in the midlands area? Thanks J
Hi there, thanks very much for your kind words. I would never recommend a group as they are mostly run by crooks looking to line their own pockets. I would knock on a few doors and bag yourself some permissions for yourself.

I've been on a group dig for my first ever detect and saw them wait for the paying detecting people then swoop in whe someone found something then also saw them taking note where things were found and when most people had left they went and dug every signal in that area. So yes my 1st experience was a shock seeing that 😢👍

Nice video and very useful. I have just started out and only really found lumps of farming equipment (iron). I have set the machine to avoid but keep getting good noises, dig it and find junk. Can get tiring with all the digging. Would love to get to the point where I am happy not to dig a signal! Will keep practicing
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my metal detecting channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. Congratulations on getting into the best hobby in the world!! Those initial months can be incredibly frustrating, you need to spend a long time learning what your metal detector is telling you and also learning the land. Once you gather experience, metal detecting can become an amazing hobby, especially when you find a nice old silver coin. We all dig iron, but over time, you will start to ignore those big iron signals. Have a look at this other video of mine, finding 2 amazing GOLD finds on the same field, just 7 days apart: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for watching and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Hi David, ah this is brilliant, you are the exact kind of person I created this video for. Its not perfect and doesn't cover everything but its to get newcomers started. It really pleases me to know that my hard work is reaching the guys I aimed it at. I am always here to offer advice and answer questions should you have any. I always welcome newcomers to my channel, please feel free to check out some of my other videos and see some of the amazing things I have found and at some amazing scenic locations. Hope to see you on another episode
My first detector comes tonight and I'll head out this weekend and do some detecting this video helped me loads esp with the number etc when catching a signal as nobody else explained what they meant. Brilliant mate thanks and may the future bring you some gold 👍
Hello, what metal detector did you buy? Have you got yourself a permission already? I am pleased my video helped you, seems like it has helped a lot of people as it is my most watched video ever. Well I've already found my fair share of gold in the 8 years I've been metal detecting. In fact have a look at my latest upload, its a look back on 2 gold finds I made on the same field several years ago: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html
Used it once and no. My son came not long after I got it so been rather busy being a dad but soon as he is a little bit older and even if I have more time to myself in-between work etc I'll definitely be out detecting! @@TehhDesiree
Very excited to get into this, even if I never find anything crazy, I’ll have fun thinking I did! I tried magnet fishing, but that was a lot more work and time than I have, this seems like a more relaxed hobby
Hi Jim, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I really hope you took something useful from it? I'm blown away that this video has had 75,000 views, that's crazy for my channel. I once bought a magnet and rope, but never ended up using it as it sounded a bit dirty and you can't find any gold or silver. Metal detecting definitely requires a lot of time and patience, more so than magnet fishing. But I wish you luck in your new found pursuit, any questions, let me know. Gareth

I think most metal detectors in this day n age tend to find most targets. The better ones though are lighter, better built etc. No matter what machine you use, if you use it a lot, you will learn it and do well with it. Thanks for watching this video
Yes it was helpful. The instruction on my detektor didnt say anything about type of sound when something is deep or shallow in the ground. Now i djust have to figure out how to eliminate sound of f.x nails, chewingum paper, cork, barbwire and so on…
Hi there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope you learned something useful.

Your machine should discriminate iron though.. Thanks again, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos.

Fun day out decent dig that! Best tip for beginners is to listen and dig everything. That thre'pence was okay btw i've dug one that was quarter the size it started from very acidic soil. Happy hunting 👍
Hi there, thanks so much for the channel visit and for watching this video. You are right, best way to learn is to dig everything. Yeah I've seen some of those three pences come out in some very sorry states. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my channel again soon
Hey Donna, firstly, thanks so much for visiting my channel today, I really appreciate you taking time out your day to watch this video, for leaving me a comment and for subscribing too. Love it when I see comments like this :) I am so pleased you found this video useful, it seems to have helped a lot of people out there and makes me feel very proud of this video. I wish you good luck in your new found hobby. Can I ask what machine you bought? Its difficult in the beginning, and frustrating, but stick at it, learn your machine and the sounds it makes. If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth

A good pinpointer will cost you about £120. Be wary of cheap Chinese knockoffs. I own 2 pinpointers the XP-Mi6 and the Garrett Carrott. Both have lasted me almost 10 years, quality bits of kit and definitely an essential piece of kit. Talking of essential kit, I also made a video which talks about the kit you need for metal detecting, you can find that here: th-cam.com/video/kulowXb059A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kKGZRndM56c6dWtJ Finally, I also made a video which helps you acquire metal detecting permissions.

@TheDukesOfDerbyshire thank you. I at least proved the detector and pinpointer I purchased work. About 3" deep near the front steps of my home, I found a rusty old nail. Not gold , but still it's my first "find" and I'm chuffed.
Hello from Singapore, Gareth. Great video introduction to metal detecting. I am thinking of buying a detector for my 3 children to have some fun with this summer. I will check out your other videos. Thanks again.

@@michaelpace773 thanks for watching ☺️
ah i see this is 5 months ago, how has your finds been like?
Wow. Your beginner videos are a breath of fresh air. I have been told by my doctors to get out and exercise. So, I bought a metal detector. I've been out six times in two weeks. I've found something nice every time. But Lord, are my legs sore! It's working!
Thank you for your very kind words, I really appreciate that. Metal detecting is a great way to unwind after a stressful week at work. I love the great outdoors and I love getting away from people haha so it suits me down to a tee !!

I'm thinkin' about getting into detecting and saw your video was for beginners. I thank you so much for your instructions. I've learned enough to tell me that I can do this, I'm disabled, and it won't bother me physically. Thanks again "Duke." You've set me on a good path to follow.
Hi there Jim, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and for watching this video. I am really pleased that you have learned something from this video. I have full faith you can do this too, disability or no disability. If you have any questions at all, please let me know.

Good to see you trying to help the newcomers with some sound advice.I had to learn from scratch but having detected over 25 years I think I am well versed in technique.Having said that I have just pulled up my first Gold Stater,what a thrill.
Hi Dave, congratulations on finding a Celtic stater, that's fantastic, dream find right there!
As for this video, I thought I would try my hand at a guide for beginners as I see it as an opportunity to generate views long term. I did my research, watched other channels guides and wrote a script with topics to cover. I think it worked out really well.
Thanks for tuning in, congratulations again on your gold stater and see you on the next
Going metal detecting for the first time in May. My mother has 22acres of land and we’re going to explore! Great video 🫡
Hi Andrew, thanks so much for coming along to my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I really hope you took something useful from it, seems to be one of my most popular videos. Good luck on your future hunts, metal detecting can be frustrating in the early months, but stick at it and you will thrive. Gareth
How did it go? What detector brand do you have and do you recommend it?
@@airbornepizza I hope he didn't dig up a landmine !!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Hope not! Haven't finished the video yet but I appreciate the info. Might get one for my birthday and try to find some jewelry to break even at least, haha.
Thanks Brother. Ya'll have some deep history on that side of the pond.
Hello & Greetings to you Ken, where about's in the USA are you from? Thanks so much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I cannot believe this video has received over 125,000 views, this makes me very proud. I do find a lot of coins and artefacts at good depths on some of my English pasture fields, but in truth most of the things we find here are usually 4-6 inches in depth. I recently uploaded this video which shows 2 epic GOLD finds I made a few years ago, both found on the same field, just 7 days apart. I would appreciate your comments:

I used to be a member of a local archeology group that did metal detector taster sessions. The main difficulty I found beginners had was keeping metal objects well away from the coil when searching and recovering finds, leading to false signals and confusion. You didn't really cover the technique for pinpointing with the detector to determine the exact location of a signal, so as to avoid damaging finds when digging. I have noticed that a lot of experienced detectorists on youtube (including you) allow the spade to point inwards at an angle when removing the plug, which can lead to hitting the find especially when its deep. I hope I haven't been too negative here, the video was a good starting point for new entrants to our great hobby.
Hey John how are you doing? Thanks for getting in touch with your feedback, it is very much appreciated as I try to use viewer feedback to improve what I do. Yes pinpointing with the coil is something I should probably have mentioned and done a little lesson with using a target and the paper. My bad on that one. Its a lot harder than it looks to create a video like this, I actually did my research, watched other channels guides and wrote a script including topics to cover. I missed a couple of things, but I hope that newcomers to the hobby can take something useful from this video :) Thanks so much for watching and offering your thoughts. I hope to see you on a future episode
Hey duke great vid very helpful for me thanks …..I did my first detecting the other week and found some really old rusty ornate iron pieces …..I have no idea how to clean and look up about these but wondered if you had any advice. ? I wish I could send you a pic as you would probably know better than me lol …..I’m sure one piece is a very old door knocker but it’s so thick with rust and where I found it doesn’t make any sense …..I look forward to any advice
Jason 😊👍
@@jasonhumphries1271 hi Jason, thanks for getting in touch, generally in the UK we ignore iron as 99% of the time iron is just rusty farm junk. I did once find a huge rusty iron lump hammer that I expect would clean up great. I've no idea how to clean rust, Google might know more. Those early months of the hobby can be frustrating, stick at it. What machine do you use?
Y97?!
I use deionised water 💦 hope this helps 🙃
Thank you for the lessons. I received a metal detector as a gift. I bought a pointer to go along with it. I contacted a friend that has a large parcel of land that is fill dirt brought in from elsewhere. He told me to come explore and retrieve.

You were one of the tubers I watched to learn, along with Liam when I first started 1 year ago. Great video and thank you👍
Hi Mick, thats good to know, it pleases me to know that some of the stuff I upload helps others out and makes a difference to their metal detecting journeys. Enjoying a week off here in Tenerife with the family, packed the Deus2 and Nokta PulseDive, hoping to film a beach video. Thanks again mate
Brilliant video, I'm a novice and your tips have helped me a lot. I use the Garret Ace 300, my first, so I will probably upgrade to a little more expensive detector as soon as I find enough gold relics to buy it!

Really enjoyed this video. It was as exciting as the real thing but easier because I didn’t have to dig! lol. I’ve been detecting about 10 years but have been reenergized recently. I’m upgrading my machine soon, shopping now. Love the beautiful old stone walls behind you. You’re going to find a great treasure. Cheers from northern California.
Hi, thanks for your awesome comments and feedbacks. Them old stone walls are definitely a key feature here in Derbyshire, England. I wish you luck on your re-energised fondness for the hobby again.

Thanks again, and have a great day. Gareth
I am just about to buy my first detectable and have been researching the hobby. This is the first video I have looked at and found it really useful. Thanks for putting something like this up for detector virgins like me. I will be looking out for your other videos. John
Hi John, thank you so much for coming along to my channel and leaving me your great feedback, its really appreciated. It really pleases me to receive comments like this. I put a lot of thought and effort into this video in the hope it would help people new to the hobby just like you. I have over 200 other metal detecting videos, I would love it if you subscribed and had a look at some of my other videos. If you ever have any questions, ask away, I am happy to help. Have a great weekend. Gareth
That was a very thorough introduction to metal detecting. I will be taking away: diging three quarters round the hole to use the grass roots as a hinge to put it back and the deeper the find, the older the find. I'm glad you put in "You will need patience, just keeep going and don't give up" I know from experience people watch a twenty minute video and don't realise that it was six hours of metal detecting ? Cheers mate you've given me a lot to think about, as I start metal detecting and probably saved me a lot of trial and error making stuid desisions 👍 I look forward to watching more videos and seeinng how YOU do things.
Hi Gerard, good to hear from you and I am pleased you have took some useful pointers from this video. Yes metal detecting requires lots of hard work, time and patience. And correct, these videos are a culmination of around 5 hours in a field, then another 5 hours on my laptop editing and putting it all together. Thank you so much for you appreciation and kind words. There are a lot of guys who follow my channel who now use XP metal detectors and are learning from me and my channel, I am always available day or night to help people where and when I can. Hope you have a good day and hope to speak to you again soon. Gareth
Lost my wedding ring while skinning a deer in the forest. I suppose i am now involved in a new interesting hobby. Will update when i receive it! Good video. Thank you.
Hi there, wow that's one way to lose a ring. I hope that you remember the location, you should be able to find that pretty easily. It should remain on the surface for a few weeks before the earth begins to swallow it up. Good luck, please let me know if you manage to find it. Thanks so much for watching this video, I really appreciate it. Gareth
I regret to inform that the ring is still in the forest. It could only have been on a small patch as I removed it to keep it clean. My assumption, due to days of searching the same 100m strip, is that a crow is very pleased with his new addition to his collection. There were dozens watching me waiting to help clean the area after the deer was harvested.
That's life.
I have, however, found about everything in that area from aluminum cans to brass ammunition casings. Been enjoying your channel. I wish I could come to older places and search for old coins. If I find things as old as some of the stuff you find in my area, it is almost exclusively always stone. I have found a handful on arrowheads and countless shards of worked flint. This metal detection hobby is a whole new angle on stuff I already do.
@@woodymcwooderson7579 ah sorry to hear that you did not locate the ring. Perhaps it could have ended up in the deer carcass or maybe the back of your car/truck. Sometimes we think we lose something somewhere, then it turns up a few months later somewhere else. Pleased that you are enjoying the hobby though
Found it.
@@woodymcwooderson7579 no way, that is awesome well done 🍻🥳
Thank you from NJ United States great video!

fast forward 2 years.. i bought a metal detector and a pinpointer a little over a year ago. it's not been out of the box. my son sent me this upload last night, after telling him I've felt a bit intimidated. Your explanation has given me incentive and confidence to take it out of the box.😃 I'm in Montana so I expect to find lots of pull tabs. the exercise and surprise will be invigorating. thanks for the simple and concise tips!

My daughter (11) has also wanted one aspeshly since easter holidays because her friend has a metal detecter they found a old plate or bowl not sure, a axe head not sure but shaped like one and a bit of potary and also a garden nome in a different place in my daughters friend garden in by a hedge
@@Sarah-i4t2h sounds like your daughters friend has some interesting finds there. It is a great hobby, but requires time and patience. I wish you luck and happy to help any way I can
Great video!! Im gonna start this spring I got 2 detectors a pin pointer all the small thing for digging. I also picked up a drone and am looking for old maps of the locations I plan on visiting. Knowing the history of the land and getting a bird’s eye view should help big time. I keep reading online to look for old places of worship and just enjoy the time your having and you won’t be disappointed. Positive vibes is key. Cheers 🍻 from Newfoundland and Labrador

Great video, really good tips for anyone getting into the hobby. Very glad you mentioned multiple times about taking your trash away.. its a must.
You've got a great way of explaining things in a simple and calm manner...
Nice bit of different content too, nice to see how you are trying new things with your channel.
I'm sure you will help a lot of people with this 👍
Cheers mate and thanks for your constant support. You don't know how much I appreciate hearing and reading positive feedback. As you know its become a big commitment trying to upload every week. Day 1 of holiday here, unfortunately there will not be an episode next week. This weeks video is performing great though
2 years on from when you made the video . Great needed info thanks.

With the understanding that this is a detector for those on a budget th-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH and that it obviously can't compare with higher end models costing hundreds of dollars, having said that I can say I am very pleased with what I got for the low cost. There are cheap detectors out there likely not worth getting, but this model is an exception to that. I have read very good comment of the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV on a metal detecting forum. If you are on a budget or simply don't want to spend a lot to give this hobby a try to see if you want to keep at it, then I recommend this model as likely being one of the best you can get for one being in the low price range. The 5 star rating is to reflect 5 stars for one in this price range. This comment is from my friend as it was the gift he wanted to buy for himself with some of the money he got for Christmas.

Cracking video Gareth 👍🏻🙌🏻 very informative and great advice for people that are wanting to start in the hobby. I've had my younger brother mither me the last week about taking him and showing him what to do, I've just shared this video with him and he can't wait to get started! Keep up the great work pal 👍🏻👊🏻
Hey mate, thank you very much. Spent quite a bit of time planning and executing this one. Its by no means perfect but I think its good enough to get people started. Thanks for sharing with ya brother, I hope he is enjoying the hobby as much as we do. Off to Tenerife day after tomorrow, still not completed the next episode yet!!
Thank you I just been giving Garrett 300i and a c scope 1220 never done metal detecting before watch a lot of it on you tube since covid now I got machines ain’t got a clue but watching you vid I’ve picked up a little knowledge about detecting a big thank and when I go I will let you no our finds 👍

Hi mate exceptionally well produced tutorial and just wish I'd had the advantage of seeing this when I first started in 2020.
Just a couple of things struck me though , and a couple of guys have already pointed out in the comments but worth repeating ..... Your own experience as a seasoned detectorist enables you to pinpoint your target without using the machine's facility , but to a beginner , that facility is so useful and should have been covered I feel . Also , a little more time spent on how to go about gaining permissions would have been really helpful I feel . Especially having witnessed your own technique myself ( talking to your mate's mam voice etc 😂 ) . And lastly , altho you don't use one yourself , a digger/trowel / tool for target extraction once pinpointed is very useful . Having said all that , you can't think of everything mate and it was the best tutorial I've seen . 👍🍻
Hi mate, yeah I did not mention the machines pinpoint feature, but then I did not mention most of the other features of it. I thought I did an ok job of showing how to pinpoint without that feature. Gaining permissions is something I plan on doing a dedicated video on in the future, so that's the reason I did not talk about that. In my opinion and experience, digging tools are not a key part of kit required for a detectorist. There are tonnes of other things I could of mentioned, but this was about the basics of getting started for a beginner. I did my research and watched 4 or 5 other channels version of their guides. I also did some planning and made an almost script and topics to cover. It was actually quite difficult to execute this video, a lot harder than I thought it would be. Someone else mentioned about using gloves. As always I appreciate folks feedback. I saw this as a great oppurtunity to create a video that will carry on generating views over time when newcomers to the hobby come along and search 'How to metal detect'. Will be very interested to see how it performs (currently very bad haha).
Thank you for taking the time to make the video. The thrill of finding something lost is an exciting draw to be sure.

shd have set an example and worn gloves before putting your hands in the hole. Also rescan the hole and plug before replacing the plug.
Hey Dave, I could of talked about gloves yes, I could of talked about footwear, detecting etiquette, closing gates, etc etc, so many things I could have talked about. I simply wanted to cover the basics to get someone started in the hobby. Maybe if I'd filmed this on a cold winters day I'd of got gloves in there. But it was 20+ degrees when i filmed this. Re-scanning the plug is another good tip too
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I always wear gloves, no idea what is in the hole screw top bottle cap with broken glass neck, rusty nail, sharp edge metal, also animal urine, chemicals etc. Always have rescanned hole before refilling, thankful for the times it was worth it.
@@davetaylor812 it is definitely good practice to wewr gloves. And I did once cut the end of my finger very badly many years ago
Just saw this. I have a pinpointer. And I'm getting ready to purchase a detector. Perfect timing! Thanks.

The old joke about the man who dug a 6 foot hole before realising he had metal toecaps in his boots.
Hello, thank you for coming along to my channel and watching this video. Haha yes I've seen that many a time before. Lesson learned, never wear steel toe capped boots :) Thanks again, and I hope to see you on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
I can remember a murder investigation where the plod were searching a field useing detectors there for days ploughed the field then realised they had steel toe capt boots on 🤡🤡s
I just joined a local club (CA, USA) so that I can use the detector that I bought years ago. I appreciate learning techniques from you. Thank you!
Hi Katy, thank so much for the very nice comments and thanks for dedicating 20 minutes of your life into watching this video of mine.

Saw a random clip on insta of a guy finding stuff metal detecting and it really peaked my interest. Which brought me here wondering about the basics of such a hobby. Glad you were the video I decided on. Love you attitude and positivity!
Hi there, I really love this comment and love how you came over to TH-cam and it was my channel you stumbled across. Did you search "How to metal detect?" Metal detecting is an awesome hobby and a hobby like no other. If you have plenty of free time on your hands, know lots of farmers/landowners and get a buzz of old coins, then this is the hobby for you!! Any questions, let me know. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I searched "Metal detecting for beginners" and your video was like the 3rd option.
I don't know a lot of land owners/ farmers but i do get a kick out of "You never know what you're going to find".
@@fernaureason7150 yes a little bit like fishing, you never quite know whats gona come up from the deep
A newbie here. Thanks for such clear demonstrations. Going forward with a bit more confidence now! Cheers

Thanks for the video. Going out today for the first time just to mess about and familiarize myself with my new detector (MineLab Vanquish 540). My pinpointer was delayed, and isn't coming until tomorrow. Hopefully that's not too much of a handicap. I've never metal detected, but my uncle has been obsessed with relic hunting for as long as I can remember.

Great intro to the amazing hobby of metal detecting! I just bought my first detector, just got it yesterday, Its not a high end brand, It is called the Hazlewolke 1030, picked it up New for $120 cdn, heading out this afternoon for my very first adventure. Like you said, " a metal detector is a metal detector, I will for sure use some of your tips and tricks! Cheers mate.

Last summer i picked up a Fisher in a mid price range, and began practicing with it in my own yard an a neighbor's yard. Even though i have some experience using it, i found your video very helpful. My best find so far was a vintage sterling silver heart shaped pendant that is still in great condition. I also found an old piece of lead shaped like a padlock, but it is not a padlock. Perhaps it is some type of weight. I have found a few modern US coins, but nothing very wonderful yet.
Anyway, i am retired and have plenty of time for the hobby. The weather is getting better now here in New England. It will be time to get back out there. I still have a lot of space in my own yard to search before venturing elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your experience and providing such great video content! I can't wait to get back out there.
Hello Tony, thank you for such a wonderful and insightful comment, and also for taking the time to watch this video. It really does please me and make me feel proud to know that there are people all over the world watching this video and finding it useful. You found your first piece of silver, congratulations, this is usually when you become hooked!! I wish you luck on your future hunts, I am always available if you have any questions. Also, I very much hope to see you again in the comments on some of my many other metal detecting videos. I have almost 250 videos now :) Thanks again. Gareth

First of all I love that you sound like Ricky Gervais. 2nd thank you for all the info I appreciate the time you took to teach us.
Hi Jess, haha Ricky Gervais 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks 😆 Thank you for taking time out your day to watch this video, I hope you took something useful from it and I hope to see you again on one of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Great video Gareth, my metal detector arived today and I am keen to get started. Can you recommend any good clubs to join in the midlands area? Thanks J
Hi there, thanks very much for your kind words. I would never recommend a group as they are mostly run by crooks looking to line their own pockets. I would knock on a few doors and bag yourself some permissions for yourself. I created a video which helps with gaining permissions, you can see that here:
th-cam.com/video/YTfsPacLnmE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=crVcn3KiRzf0rggG
Thanks again and hope to see you on my channel again. Gareth
I've been on a group dig for my first ever detect and saw them wait for the paying detecting people then swoop in whe someone found something then also saw them taking note where things were found and when most people had left they went and dug every signal in that area.
So yes my 1st experience was a shock seeing that 😢👍
I just bought a metal detector and ready to Go ! Thanks for the video 👊🏼 From Boston Mass 🙏🏻
Hello & Greetings to you, thank you so much for watching this video, I really hope you found it useful. If you have any questions, please ask away. Hope to see you again on one of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Thank you for all the different types of sounds.
Hello, you are very welcome, thank you for choosing to take time out your day to watch this video, it is very much appreciated. You may find this video useful too, I compared a cheap metal detector to a very expensive metal detector. I located some real targets in the ground and compared the signals and sounds:

Thanks for the vid! I'm from Alabama (US), and plan on trying it out at the beach, soon! You've given me some great beginners' tips, and I'm excited to try it out! Thanks!
Hi there Jeremy, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I hope you took something useful from it as many others before you have.

Nice video and very useful. I have just started out and only really found lumps of farming equipment (iron). I have set the machine to avoid but keep getting good noises, dig it and find junk. Can get tiring with all the digging. Would love to get to the point where I am happy not to dig a signal! Will keep practicing
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my metal detecting channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. Congratulations on getting into the best hobby in the world!! Those initial months can be incredibly frustrating, you need to spend a long time learning what your metal detector is telling you and also learning the land. Once you gather experience, metal detecting can become an amazing hobby, especially when you find a nice old silver coin. We all dig iron, but over time, you will start to ignore those big iron signals. Have a look at this other video of mine, finding 2 amazing GOLD finds on the same field, just 7 days apart:
th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again for watching and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Thanks for that, I’m new and thinking of buying my first metal detector, great advice.
Hi David, ah this is brilliant, you are the exact kind of person I created this video for. Its not perfect and doesn't cover everything but its to get newcomers started. It really pleases me to know that my hard work is reaching the guys I aimed it at. I am always here to offer advice and answer questions should you have any. I always welcome newcomers to my channel, please feel free to check out some of my other videos and see some of the amazing things I have found and at some amazing scenic locations. Hope to see you on another episode
My first detector comes tonight and I'll head out this weekend and do some detecting this video helped me loads esp with the number etc when catching a signal as nobody else explained what they meant. Brilliant mate thanks and may the future bring you some gold 👍
Hello, what metal detector did you buy? Have you got yourself a permission already? I am pleased my video helped you, seems like it has helped a lot of people as it is my most watched video ever. Well I've already found my fair share of gold in the 8 years I've been metal detecting. In fact have a look at my latest upload, its a look back on 2 gold finds I made on the same field several years ago:
th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html
Did you find something ?
Used it once and no. My son came not long after I got it so been rather busy being a dad but soon as he is a little bit older and even if I have more time to myself in-between work etc I'll definitely be out detecting! @@TehhDesiree
Very excited to get into this, even if I never find anything crazy, I’ll have fun thinking I did! I tried magnet fishing, but that was a lot more work and time than I have, this seems like a more relaxed hobby
Hi Jim, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I really hope you took something useful from it? I'm blown away that this video has had 75,000 views, that's crazy for my channel. I once bought a magnet and rope, but never ended up using it as it sounded a bit dirty and you can't find any gold or silver. Metal detecting definitely requires a lot of time and patience, more so than magnet fishing. But I wish you luck in your new found pursuit, any questions, let me know. Gareth
Great video mate! Might have to start metal detecting myself this guide told me everything i need to know with great communication 👍

I think most metal detectors in this day n age tend to find most targets. The better ones though are lighter, better built etc. No matter what machine you use, if you use it a lot, you will learn it and do well with it. Thanks for watching this video
Yes it was helpful. The instruction on my detektor didnt say anything about type of sound when something is deep or shallow in the ground. Now i djust have to figure out how to eliminate sound of f.x nails, chewingum paper, cork, barbwire and so on…
Hi there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope you learned something useful. This is my most watched video in my gallery and it makes me very proud and happy to see how many views it has received. You can't really discriminate some metals as you will miss lots of finds. Your machine should discriminate iron though.. Thanks again, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. If you are interested in seeing 2 of my best ever gold finds, then have a look at this video:

Fun day out decent dig that!
Best tip for beginners is to listen and dig everything.
That thre'pence was okay btw i've dug one that was quarter the size it started from very acidic soil. Happy hunting 👍
Hi there, thanks so much for the channel visit and for watching this video. You are right, best way to learn is to dig everything. Yeah I've seen some of those three pences come out in some very sorry states. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my channel again soon
Got my first low-budget machine the other day and found your video. Very helpful! Thank you! Liked and subscribed! ~~Donna, NH, USA
Hey Donna, firstly, thanks so much for visiting my channel today, I really appreciate you taking time out your day to watch this video, for leaving me a comment and for subscribing too. Love it when I see comments like this :) I am so pleased you found this video useful, it seems to have helped a lot of people out there and makes me feel very proud of this video. I wish you good luck in your new found hobby. Can I ask what machine you bought? Its difficult in the beginning, and frustrating, but stick at it, learn your machine and the sounds it makes. If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Thanks! I’m just starting out and your post helped me greatly!!

Thank you for creating this content, you have an inspired me to get out and have a go. May I ask what’s a good pin pointer?

With regards to pinpointers, I would look at Garrett, XP, Nokta or Minelab. A good pinpointer will cost you about £120. Be wary of cheap Chinese knockoffs. I own 2 pinpointers the XP-Mi6 and the Garrett Carrott. Both have lasted me almost 10 years, quality bits of kit and definitely an essential piece of kit. Talking of essential kit, I also made a video which talks about the kit you need for metal detecting, you can find that here:
th-cam.com/video/kulowXb059A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kKGZRndM56c6dWtJ
Finally, I also made a video which helps you acquire metal detecting permissions. This one can be viewed here:

I hope all this helps. Thanks again, and have a great day. Gareth

@TheDukesOfDerbyshire thank you. I at least proved the detector and pinpointer I purchased work. About 3" deep near the front steps of my home, I found a rusty old nail. Not gold , but still it's my first "find" and I'm chuffed.
@@StephanieElizabethMann awesome, well maybe your next find will be a coin or ring :)
Hello from Singapore, Gareth. Great video introduction to metal detecting. I am thinking of buying a detector for my 3 children to have some fun with this summer. I will check out your other videos. Thanks again.
